Autolinking a Date on an Android Phone

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone in the community had any tips on autolinking a date (format MM,DD) on an Android phone. We all know that this happens on an iPhone and can be very annoying(where the user clicks on the link and has the option to add it to their calender). In this particular situation, I want to keep that feature and also repeat the same behaviour on an Android device. If anyone has any advice or tip, I would greatly appreciate it.

This would be interesting to see if anybody came up with a solution for this, however, in the iphones case the links are added in by the client, applemail, so i do not imagine there is something that can force other clients to open up an app etc. I think it would be client specific or even OS specific?
